A leaked photograph of Manchester United's potential new adidas shirt for the 2015/16 season caused a stir on Twitter today, with supporters of the Old Trafford club almost in unison of their dislike for the new strip.

Adidas will replace Nike as United's kit suppliers as of the start of next season after signing a £750m deal last year. The German sportswear manufacturer previously made United kits from 1980 until 1992.

The move ends Nike's 13-year association with the club.

Here's how United fans have reacted to the 'new' kit...

Plenty of designs have began to already surface online for next season's Premier League kits, although, thankfully these disgruntled fans, many do turn out to be fakes.
